We at Computer Science Dept. of Concordia University <http://www.cs.concordia.ca> are currently conducting a research on usability of software user interfaces.
I as the research assistant would like to invite you to participate in this research since you are a user of Blender. The research is purely a scientific research and is not a marketing or business study and we conduct the research completely independent of software producers.
We invite you as a user of Blender to fill out a questionnaire and we assure you that the information you provide will be stored in an anonymous way and will be used in aggregate from. We anticipate no risk to you as a result of your participation in this study other than the inconvenience of the time to complete the form that may take 15 minutes.
For a comprehensive summary of this research you may start at the project website:

In the case you experience a problem in saving data you may use the alternative site:

If you have experience with other 3D modeling software in the list on questionnaire please feel free to fill out the questionnaire for every software.
If you know friends or colleagues who have experience with Blender or other 3D modeling software please feel free to invite them on behalf of us to participate in this study, more data for us means statistically more accurate results.
At the end on behalf of all my colleagues in the project I appreciate your efforts.
Regards
M Donyaee

"The help system is consistent in quality through entire program". Yeah.
On the other hand, there is generally no GNU software in existence that has flawless documentation. The guys writing the code do not usually want to waste their time writing instructions on how to use it.
On behalf of Blender I must say that tutorials are really something. It is not often you find such active open source community that is willing to share their knowledge by making tutorials. Usually help is aqquired mostly by posting "newbie questions" to bb's. Nothing wrong with that, I just rather read the manual than ask "stupid" questions.
